Anina

20-year old
Horsewoman

With its stunning landscapes, the Canton of Jura offers unique countryside, unspoilt by pollution from the major cities nearby. It's in the wild, authentic Jura that Anina's passion for horse riding was born. And she remains ever faithful to the region's traditional Franches-Montagnes breed.

Her Jura highlight ?

“Galloping over mountains and cantering through forests with that feeling of freedom that you can only find in the Jura.”
